On Sunday, Eustis police said they chased after Wrigley after he ran a red light, swerved back and forth and then at one point on Bay Street rolled over the median and began heading north against southbound traffic.

"It looks like approximately 12 cars were on the roadway at any given time during the 2 miles, including the law enforcement vehicles," said Eustis police spokesman Rob Simken. "And anytime you have a car going the wrong way on the road and you've added alcohol to the mix, yes, safety of the public is definitely paramount."

Suspecting the driver was impaired, officers sped ahead and set up stop sticks.

The sticks flattened three of Wrigley's tires, according to officials.

"Because he is driving the wrong way on the roadway, he's impaired, to not even observe other people and patrol vehicles with their lights flashing and sirens, it was necessary to use the stop sticks," said Smiken.

Authorities said Wrigley kept right on driving another quarter mile before he stopped. He then needed to be helped several times to keep from falling down during his field sobriety test.

At a DUI testing center, police said Wrigley registered up to a .057 percent blood alcohol level on a Breathalyzer, that is nearly twice the legal limit for intoxication.

Wrigley even tried to free himself of his handcuffs. He was released from jail and phone calls to his home were left unreturned.
